I've never had my center caps come off at the track, but I probably will take them out for track events now that I think about it. I do have an extra set of wheels that I bought off of CL that are kind of rough cosmetically, so no big deal to take the caps off.

BTW, do you know how hot the wheel would have to get to expand enough for the caps to come off easily? I'm guessing it would be hundreds of degrees, so that isn't why the caps can fly off at the track. The reason is because of the extra vibration from running over alligator curbs while cornering hard. Combine that with old, loose caps, and ping! off they go.
